First off, thanks token for putting all this work in for everyone else :)

Your flash has allowed my internet to work great with my EVO on Cricket. I seemed to have problems switching between Wifi and 3G on some roms (no more connection via either until reboot) but the latest Cyanogen Mod 6 roms are doing really well and I don't seem to have that problem (except for some random reboots when I shut off wifi sometimes, but I think that's them not you).

However, I haven't been able to get MMS working on any rom. I've tried many different roms including Sprint based ones and Verizon based ones. I've used the Ava Froyo V2rc3 rom with no luck and that one supposedly is confirmed working lol. I'm currently running Cyanogen again as it is the only one that allows me to use Youtube over 3G, all the others just say can't play video.

For MMS I can't send anything out, and as far as receiving all I get is the msg that I have a picture waiting and I'm given a web address and password. Is it possible MMS isn't working on my account? It's supposed to be included in my plan.

Bug Report

1. Cricket

2. HTC Hero

3. Cyanogen Mod 6 RC2 and also tried Ava Froyo V2rc3 (trying to stick with non sprint roms)

4. Cricket 10 flash

5. MMS (send/receive) and Wireless Tether (3G connection seems to get knocked out when I enable it and have to restart the phone)

the 000000 as msl? or the custom one from white rabbit?

EDIT--- it is the MSL from white rabbit.

Its working, although its my first time using metro's internet... i find it ... quite slow on the 1x network. Anyway to speed that up? Im on the 50$ a month plan if that helps... Droid Eris rooted stock rom, that has been metro flashed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] xTONEx:
so follow up to my issues... so i called cricket a bunch of times. they refused to give me the android plan said it HAD to be done in store. so i goto the corporate store today and they tell me they CAN NOT give me the android plan UNLESS i have THEIR android phone. the lady said she CANT fake the serial number they HAVE to put in... she said anyone that told me that they have the android plan but not a cricket phone is a liar... lol... Then to top it off now i come home call cricket again pissed off and still getting told the same thing. and now my internet is not working on my phone at all even tho it def was before i went into that store today! LMAO this is too much fun let me tell ya
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mr1337:
Wow they are really giving you a hard time. I think i got lucky. you just have to find someone competent enough to get it done and with cricket that can be battle within it self. They tell you it cant be done because they dont know how to do it.

This is what i did... I called cricket and asked them to change my phone type from "customer Provided equipment" to the "Android Zio M6000" so my phone would work right with there network. I had to call cricket three times to find some with just enough competency to get my phone type listed as i wanted. Even then after getting my phone listed as the Zio M6000 they didn't have me on the right plan I was on the "Cricket All In $55" and i needed to be on the "ADR Smartphone All in $55" after calling cricket 5 times telling them i wasn't on the right plan and having my account refreshed 4 time it still wasn't working so i gave up that night. So the next day i go into a cricket dealer "not a corporate store" and asked the manger if he would look over my account info, It turns out that they still had me under the wrong $55 dollar plan. with just a couple clicks of the mouse he had me under the right plan "ADR Smartphone All in $55" then he refreshed my account a bunch of times. And then Bang it all started to work....

IT CAN BE DONE :-)... Its Just a pain in the ass.

It will only get faster if you are in a 3g market... I think it's detroit and dallas, and then you would have to program in the EVDO settings, but that is easy. And you don't need to be on the $50 plan. Call in and change it to the $40. I have always been on the $40 and everything is fully functional. I have an Eris. Unless you need the stuff on the $45, such as international texting, which is pretty much the only thing you can use on the $45 that is different from the $40.

If you're not confident about your speeds then download the FCC speed test app (search for FCC in the Market). Your results should be about 0.11 down and 0.20 up. 1x is not fast by any means, but it gets the job done.
[Droid Eris Android Development] PimpTwzt:
Well I called them a couple days ago, got a female rep I told her I wanted to switch my plan to the new android plan she said ok i can do that for you, it will take just a minute. Then she said its not letting her do something so she said give me just another minute im going to have to do it another way and in a minute she said ok your all set, it will be $55 now and to dial *228 when i hang up. Anything else she can do for me? Nope. ok have a nice day.

I was on the phone for roughly 5 minutes. And within 15 minutes internet was working without the proxy and soon after that I was receiving pic messages. (without a proxy)

Now i am having problems sending pic messages and now receiving them after flashing a new rom, so i think my problems are setting on the phone.

I have been using wireless tethering to my net book and speedtest.net gives me a 1-1.2 Mbps download speed and 300-600Kbps upload.

Its great, and now they are nationwide so no more cricket area coverage.

Cricket is bomb now!

Oh and btw I have an Eris, they have me down as customer provided equipment. In the past anytime I have changed phones (HTC Touch, Palm Pre, and HTC Droid Eris) they ask me what phone I have and I tell them exactly what it is. There was once when a rep told me they cant add a non-cricket phone I just hung up right then and there and redialed. No use arguing with them just call and get another rep on the line.
[Droid Eris Android Development] t12icky0:
ok so wat your saying since i have a HTC HERO i can go to the store..or call cricket and have them change my cricket plan to the ZIO and i will get picture messages?
[Droid Eris Android Development] xTONEx:
does any1 wanna give me their phone number so i can say hey look this number has android plan and ISNT a cricket zio? cause these people are really starting to piss me off. every person i talk to at cricket is telling me its not allowing them to change it over :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] josegp:
oh lol, i went to speedtest.net in the built in browser was getting .06down and .10 up at my house in orlando, with 1x data coverage.

odd... using the fcc speedtest app in my job in apopka, fl (outside orlando), with server in Atlanta, it says i am in 1x coverage but getting 120kbps down, upload 207, with 852 latency... ran several times, its always about those results.
[Droid Eris Android Development] PimpTwzt:
Yes. All you need to do is call though. Just tell them you want to upgrade your plan to the new Android plan. No need to mention the Zio.

But make sure after you do that and *228 you go into epst and make sure nothing reverted back to sprint like how my eris reverted back to verizon.
[Droid Eris Android Development] PimpTwzt:
There is a nice speedtest.net app in the market that works very nicely. I noticed when I had the standard web through crickets proxy, the closest server was Washington D.C. and I live in california. I got the same speeds with 3G as you are saying showed up with the fcc speedtest app.

Now with the new web without the proxy the closest server is just a town away.
[Droid Eris Android Development] PimpTwzt:
Call cricket and tell them you want to upgrade to the new android plan. Dont ask, or demand. Just tell them "you want". Dont mention the Zio just refer to the plan. If they say they cant, hang up right away dont argue and redial. If that isnt working for you then just find a cricket store that flashes phones and go in to have them do it. They shouldnt fuss about things.

It can be done, im proof of that so any flasher can do it easy without even touching your phone. All it is is changing a plan lol. Dont know why the people you have talked to already are giving you trouble.

P.S.

i have a Motorola droid if i change my plan to crickets android plan will it work without the flash? or is it for the eris and hero only?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mr1337:
Yes.. if you have already written the appropriate NV file to your Moto Droid it should work. Also make sure your APNs are set right for your MMS to work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] xTONEx:
ive gone into the cricket corp store was told they couldnt see the option to even change me. was told the exact same thing from the people on the phone as well. and i went to a store that flashes phones today. he couldnt do it in his computer so he called cricket head office and they told him that also that i had to go into a cricket corp store to do this. his only advice to me b4 i left was that i cancel my current account and have him try to open a new one directly using that plan. but i would lose my number in the process of doing so. he also said that maybe its just too early here in this market and that maybe its just not set up in the system to do it yet. he's also interested in getting this figured out cause he uses the droid on cricket and was complaining bout his slow wap speeds... so im gonna give it till monday i guess but it be real great to say hey i know this guy his number is xxxxxxxxxx and his account says user supplied equip and adr all in plan...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mr1337:
xTONEx Please check your P.M.
[Droid Eris Android Development] t12icky0:
ok...whats peoples results from the speedtest.net app?

mine are as followed(i ran 5 tests)...and im not on the android plan yet:

1= 0.59(down) 0.52(up)<<<my last one i ran today

2= 0.56(down) 0.55(up)

3= 0.44(down) 0.32(up)

4= 0.74(down) 0.69(up)

5= 0.67(down) 0.79(up)<<<<this was my first one i ran

does this look about right without the android plan? and whats the difference speed wise between just a regular(im on the unlimited $45 plan) and the android plan?
[Droid Eris Android Development] kevinrivas7:
ive called cricket like 20 times now and they refuse to change the phone in my account but i already have the android plan on my account they said can anyone help? ideas?
[Droid Eris Android Development] xTONEx:
go to www.mycricket.com and see what plan it says u have. from what im understanding u dont need it to say zio m6000 u only need to have the android plan
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mr1337:
To all that successfully get them selfs on the android plan.

Don't forget to remove your "autostart.sh" and your "u2nl". autostart.sh is in /data/opt and your u2nl is in /system/bin.

Or you could simply remove autostart and reset your phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] becki023:
Thanks Mr1337. That's the bit of information that I needed to know. Now to decide if I want to pay an extra $10 for the new plan. Everything works now. Just not perfect. I think its gonna be the skinflint that wins.
[Droid Eris Android Development] meanm50:
What is the advantage to having the android plan from cricket? Faster internet?
[Droid Eris Android Development] macnolias:
You guys are way off topic and in the wrong section all together. It would be nice if you all had consideration for token and his efforts to give us an easy way to fix our internet and mms on cricket and metropcs.

How does deciding what plan to go with have anything to do with Android Development?

Common sense is a good thing.
[Droid Eris Android Development] xTONEx:
wouldnt the android plan negating the need for this on cricket actually be on topic??? is to me... and trust me tokens efforts are great appreciated by many of us.

and to who ask yes the android plan supposedly allows direct connection to the cricket web. as opposed to needing a u2nl proxy workaround which dramatically effects the speeds of crickets internet services. also some are saying its allowing mms to work on phones that previously didnt work with the zip from this thread. but im sure that still has something to do with the settings on the phone and rom being used
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mr1337:
I agree this could be the wrong Place for this. This thread is for Token's support and development of his proxy solutions. I'm sure we all appreciate Token's work I know i do. So out of my appreciation and respect of Tokens thread i have made a new thread over in the "Droid Eris General" section under the thread name of "Android on the Cricket Android plan".

If you would like to continue talking about Crickets android plan please move the conversation to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7805842#post7805842

Thank you
[Droid Eris Android Development] t12icky0:
LOL..this makes me laugh:D Toke Knows i respect the hell outta him
[Droid Eris Android Development] PimpTwzt:
It has nothing to do about disrespect. Its about this thread being a solution for web/mms with cricket on and android handset and now we have a new solution so it is being discussed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] whiterabbitorg:
I don't speak for Token419, but I personally would prefer it if people talked about the android plan in another thread just because I have no interest in that stuff. I follow this thread because I am interested in u2nl and autostart related solutions only.
[Droid Eris Android Development] shagpal:
how do I flash this from the "recovery console"?
[Droid Eris Android Development] pkopalek:
If you have a rooted phone, put that .zip file on your SD card. Not in any special folder on it, just right on it.

With your rooted phone, Turn off the phone.

Hold Volume UP + Power to turn it on.

The same way you flash custom ROMs, you flash this.

What ROM are you on?

Are you rooted?

Need help?
[Droid Eris Android Development] pkopalek:
The new Android plan PRL:

I bet it works just fine with normal Cricket phones. Just more/better towers. The same way a hybrid Verizon/Alltel works on a Verizon phone. Or Cricket PRLs from other locales work just fine. I'm going to have the woman try it. Anyone caring to try it before that, please report:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7813697&postcount=22

And btw if the Android one doesn't work (the one that guy posted - which is also called 32100.prl, which i uploaded right here, too), let's try 30000 and 32000, the brand new Cricket nationwide PRLs. I bet they work great.
[Droid Eris Android Development] shagpal:
I got kaosfroyo on it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] shagpal:
okay, did the flash with metropcs v3 beta, doesn't work. tried to bring up EPST in kayosfroyo using ##778 to change settings, and no epst comes up.
[Droid Eris Android Development] pkopalek:
KaosFroyo won't have EPST. It also should be noted that some KaosFroyo ROMs (v29, but not v28, but v24 and not v23) don't seem to work with these Cricket/MetroPCS flashes. I don't know if Kaos is syncing/unsyncing his code with Cyanogen sources, or with Hero sources, but some versions of Kaos Froyo seem to work, and some don't. I'd try CyanogenTazz just to see, or CELB. You might be SOL trying to make Froyo work with this flash. But ANYWAY,

Only Eris-based SenseUI ROMs will have it.

TO be honest, if you can call/text/have a 3g/ev ICON at the top of the screen (as if you're connected), you probably don't need to do any of this. The first thing I would do is try the v3.5 BETA: http://www.multiupload.com/888N0WDEXH

But to get EPST going, try this:

So do a nand backup of your KaosFroyo ROM.

Then wipe and flash a normal Eris ROM like xtrSense or Ivan's Eris_Official 1.0 or Plain Jane or TaintedTenzo or something, then do your ##778 business.

THEN, after you get all your ##778 changes in there like you want them, boot back into recovery, do a nand restore, to get KaosFroyo back on there, and you'll be good.

OR use QPST for Windows, and DO ##DIAG on your phone (if froyo has that, I assume it does?) and use the Hero Diag Drivers for your phone, and you can edit the settings that way.

Honestly, it'd be faster to just backup, then flash a normal SenseUI ROM and do your ##778 settings, rather than find/download/configure all the stuff for QPST.

And like I said, if you can do calls and texts, and you have a 3g/EV icon at the top of the screen that says your data is working, then I wouldn't bother with your PST settings -- they're probably OK!

Try the MetroPCS 3.5 Beta - that might work if v3 doesn't:

Any chance of making one for Pocket Communications? Thanks

Haha awesome info !!!

Im on vacation in Mass right now and was without service, updated to 32100 and now im up on talk/text simply amazing !!

Anyhow i dont mind the topic derailing, but prefer to stay on topic, information sharing is sweet and we are bound to see deviations here and there, but i agree having a separate topic for that is necessary at this point.

Hope to be able to play again soon but im loving having NOTHING to do, simply amazing !! Quality time with my girl just chillin and laxin.

Anyways keep up the great work with helping each other out and maybe we can discover whats up with the MMS on sprint roms soon :)

No apps, No 3G

1. MetroPCS (Central FL)

2. HTC Eris

3. xtrSense 4.0.6 (based on stock 2.1)

4. MetroPCS v3.5 beta

5. Not working: Can't download/install apps and No 3G. Otherwise web works, email works, GPS works, MMS works ...etc

Tried initially howardforum's HOW-TO-Fully-Flash-an-HTC-Droid-Eris-to-Metro-Tutorial-v2.0. Everytime I finished modifying NV on QPST (with the new MSL password from whiterabbitorg) I got the error message " NV_UE_IMEI_I status: NV_READONLY_S". And I was never sure if the whole writing to phone worked.

Then adding APN, and moving/changing permission for u2nl and autostart.sh always seemed to go without a hitch. But in the end it didn't even allow me to sync gmail. :mad:

This v3.5 beta allows me to sync Gmail :), but can't get apps and I'm still at 1x speed!:confused:

Any advise?
[Droid Eris Android Development] shagpal:
okay, got mms working thru apn, and web working thru proxy with anycut, but no luck w/ metropc v3 or v3.5 beta yet.

3G on MetroPCS?!?

Are you supposed to see the 3G/Ev icon after flashing Metro v3.5? (I'm on xtrSense 4.0.6) I only have 1x.

Other question:

Can someone explain the different backup?

- MetroPCS flashed my phone (which I think ppl refer as PRL). How to back this up? So I don't have to pay them $50 again to get this done in case of major prb.

- What is the NAND backup? What does it save?

- How to back up Apps, Text, ...etc?
[Droid Eris Android Development] t12icky0:
1...to save your prl use QPST and and then read from phone(atleast thats my easiest way).

2.NAND backup=essentially it just backs up your ROM so incase anything happens you can flash it back onto the phone. Think of it as having a system restore for your computer(except on your SD CARD). Everything that you had on the phone at the moment you backed up will be there.

3. backup apps(nandroid should) but there are many apps on the market that will backup apps. The same with texts and just about everything else, you will have to search the market to find them tho.

4.YES YOU SHOULD HAVE EV or 3G icon...if you dont something didnt work right. Possibly the rom your on doesnt support it or something.
[Droid Eris Android Development] SebMKd:
1x Speed

Thanks T12icky0! :D

1. I did a save through QPST first time I used it and changed the @verizon mail to @metropcs ...etc, which I now reload everytime I change ROM. Didn't know that was also saving all the metropcs flash parameters. One thing though, is that after I reload this file to the phone and check it, I don't see my MSL password in there any longer. Although, web works fine... Could it be a reason why I don't have 3G?!:confused:

2. Got it

3. I found Titanium backup and restore and it works just fine :)

4. That's what I thought. I tried yesterday CELB Froyo 2.2 and still didn't have 3G. Then I went back to the old faithfull grdlock 2.1, as xtrSense 4.0.6 just drained too much my battery and same thing. I use metropcs v3.5 beta.

Any advice?

When it says 'MDN' up there, does it mean to substitute the MDN?

This is very interesting. I threw a user and password on there a long time ago. It was PHONENUMBER@MYCRICKET.COM where you have MDN@mycricket.com ... I'm assuming that's what that is, since in HTML code, the @ is @.

I don't really believe that there is a 12345=abc on the end of that mmsc though. I almost believe that is where we're used to seeing the ?X=10DIGITMDN ?

Funny, when I first got MMS working on an Eris, it was messing around with it, putting that in there. Maybe this is on to something. Thanks for posting this.
